Without a firm grasp of the multidimensional structure of traumatic memory as it is stored in the brain and held in the body, therapists are often left floundering in the swamplands of ambiguity and uncertainty. Indeed, misconceptions about so called recovered memories have caused much unnecessary pain and suffering for patients and for their families, while also creating confusion and self- doubt for the therapists who treat them.
Conscious, explicit memory is only the proverbial tip of a very deep and mighty iceberg. It barely hints at the submerged strata of primal implicit experience that moves and motivates us in ways that the conscious mind can only begin to imagine. But imagine we should, and if we are to work effectively and wisely with trauma and its memory traces in both mind and body, we must understand these issues.
